It is being seen by fans as a chance to celebrate the life and career of the beloved actor. Take a look.
Film
It's a story of two people made for each other
Based on John Green's popular 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars, Dil Bechara tells the story of two youngsters: Kizie (played by debutante Sanjana Sanghi), a young girl suffering from cancer and Manny (Sushant), a boy whom she meets at a support group. The two go on an emotional roller-coaster ride as they explore the experience of being alive and in love.

Sushant's charm stays with viewers even after trailer ends
In the trailer, Sushant is introduced as a carefree person, who just knows how to smile. He makes Kizie laugh with his jokes, makes her feel welcome in the support group, and holds her hands when she feels the most vulnerable. It looks like Sushant was made for this role. The avid reader that he was, he surely must have gulped down Green's novel.

Beauty, romance, and tragedy: That's 'Dil Bechara' for you!
The 3-minute-long trailer is replete with spectacular shots of the beautiful Eiffel Tower in Paris, where Kizie and Manny decide to go for a trip. In the novel, the lovers blurt only "Okay" to each other to express their love and in this movie, the word has been replaced with "Seri" (meaning okay in Tamil). Just like the book, the trailer also is heart-touching.
